A German user has found creation of a save file at shutdown is not working in L.A.S.S.I.E. 002 non PAE Version - which was a bit surprising to me. While doing some testings on this, I found creation of a save file at shutdown is also not working in L.A.S.S.I.E. 002 PAE Version!

So this forces me to build L.A.S.S.I.E. 003, which will take some time. It depends on how fast I can solve this problem (was successfully tested in 001, so I can't imagine where to start at the moment). Even though I would solve this tomorrow, a new upload can't be done earlier than end of May or beginning of June 2014.

Meanwhile one can use the built in Save File Builder (Menu Utilities) to create an empty save file, which can be loaded at next boot. Mount your boot partition first and make sure, its free space is higher than the requested save file size.

When using L.A.S.S.I.E. 002 with a save file in use, I recommend to shutdown/reboot the Computer by a right-click onto a drive icon, which will first unload all loaded SFS Modules. Otherwise it could be necessary to unload previous loaded SFS Modules manually at next boot, before they can be used again. In such case there may arrive a message about a SFS Module not found - even though it is locally existing.

I have uploaded these files to the LazY Puppy SFS Repository at smoke01.com.

Each SFS Module comes with dependencies (libs) included, so all Programs should work also in each Precise Puppy and its derivatives.

Note:

!!! If you want to expand this Version of SARA-ScriptBox and want to add new Applications (SFS Modules) you need to use L.A.S.S.I.E. for this. !!!

SARA-ScriptBox for L.A.S.S.I.E. Version 0.0.2. is preconfigured to download the SFS Modules automatically at first try to run the Application. The SFS Modules will download to /root/Downloads (make sure there is a Directory /root/Downloads existing) and will load the SFS Modules to execute the Applications from Directory 'Modules' at boot partition (make sure there is a Directory 'Modules' at your boot partition existing). After downloading a SFS Module there will be a Message that wants you to move the downloaded SFS Module to Directory 'Modules' at your boot partition - so just do it.

Unpack SARA-ScriptBox-for-LASSIE.tar.gz and copy its content (RoxApp Directory 'SARA-ScriptBox-LASSIE') to a EXT partition (NTFS will not work for RoxApps and VFAT will not keep the symlinks) before trying to use it.

Inside of RoxApp Directory 'SARA-ScriptBox-LASSIE' (open it by right-click option) there is a Script, SARA-Apps-Config-Patcher, which can be used, to patch all the .cfg Files of the SARA-RSD Applications to easily set a new Directory for the use of the SFS Modules. Let option to download the SFS Modules automatically activated. This will be deactivated for each SFS Module separately after the SFS Module is downloaded.

Thank you for all your work, I very much like your multi desktop setup
I am new to linux yet feel it worth my while to slowly learn the basics so as to be able to use it frequently and move away from that mans OS that keeps letting viruses into my system

Regarding your above post about a problem with the save file

I downloaded your Version 0.0.2 ISO a few days ago and ran it for the first time last night, it booted fast - A good job done by you considering what is included

Being aware of the save file problem I went ahead with setting everything up in the same way as I had set-up Precise Puppy a month ago (create a save file on my HDD to my specified size and then create another save file for the program files) The save file to a requested 4Gb was created (LassiePrecisesave_cryptx-myname.2fs) the programs save file was not created.

Can you help me solve a problem until your release of Version 0.0.3 ISO
The problem I have is that I am stuck at create a save file from the menu using the included save fail creator tool, the reason I am stuck is that I already have a 4Gb (LassiePrecisesave_cryptx-myname.2fs) file that I chose to have encrypted and that works as it should. I did use the save file tool in the menu to look and learn what it does and ended up with LassiePrecisesave-myname2.2fs alongside my other save file, as I have some knowledge of Puppy (not much but learning) I now understand what I had done as on the next boot I was given the option to boot from the encrypted save file that lassie built or the empty save file that I created using the tool.
I hope I have explained my dilemma in a fashion that you are able to understand. What I need to know is how do I create a save file for the programs included in your ISO to be saved to my HDD and shorten the loading time for lassie, I am guessing that I will first need to rename the save file I created with the tool so that Lassie will recognise it as the file to write the programs to when booting from the ISO for the first time, if my guess is correct - what do I rename the save file as, if my guess is incorrect - I am at a total loss as to what is required to solve my problem
Thank you in advance, I look forward to your insructions and appreciate all your time and work that you have put in to create a linux puppy that is free for anyone to use
My apologies, I have just read through this post - I had no intention of writing a book

Just choose the save file you want to use and boot the system.
